AKASO EK7000 Pro 4K30fps Action Camera with Touch Screen EIS 131ft Waterproof Camera Remote Control 5X Zoom Underwater Camera with Helmet Accessories Kit (with 128GB MicroSD Card)

Really Light and Compact With Many Attachment Options
We got this to both record and stream live and had no previous experience with any webcam hardware beyond what they put in laptops these days. Most of our needs were met by our phones. However, we eventually realized we could really benefit from something more portable that didn’t keep getting in the way. That’s where this came in.The price point meant that we could afford to experiment with it and not be too concerned if it didn’t work out. The camera is super simple to operate and I figured it out in a couple of minutes before I even read the manual. It shoots really smooth 60 fps video at 1080 and still has a nice 4K picture at 30 frames/sec.t’s easy to record to the computer simply by connecting the mini-HDMI on the camera to the HDMI port on the laptop. We’ve been using OBS to record stuff on Linux and haven’t run into any problems. The camera was recognized immediately with full functionality.I do advise you consider heeding the warning about SD cards over 64GB presenting potential compatibility issues. We bought a SanDisk 512GB Extreme microSDXC for this unit at first because, although AKASO warns against it in the documentation, many reviewers online mentioned using higher capacity cards without issue.I think those reviewers were simply referring traffic to the products that made them the most commission and never actually had any experience with this setup, because we had trouble from the start. The camera didn’t recognize the card until it was formatted, and then it would only show up with a 30GB capacity. In contrast, the Kingston 64GB microSDXC Canvas Go Plus card we purchased worked perfectly right off the bat and it’s been smooth since.Instead of getting a larger capacity card, spend you money on several 64GB ones instead. I consider this a good purchase and we’ll be getting a lot of use out of this little camera and its amazing assortment of accessories. Oh, and it came with two batteries and a charger that charges both at the same time. Battery life is great too.

Good Camera
For a third of the price of a go pro, this is a really good deal.The camera itself is okay, pictures seem to turn out good and it shoots videos in 1080p well. However, at 4k and even 2.7k the video begins to stutter – a lot. Certainly not the 25 and 30 fps that it is supposed to have. Granted, this could be something I messed up in the settings but I am skeptical of that.In high light settings the camera performs excellently, in the dark recesses of a canyon, where I use it, not so much. The camera can be used as a webcam which I thought was pretty cool but you definitely need a well lit room in order for it to look good.The other paraphernalia that came with the camera is awesome.My only complaint about the mounting hardware is that it didn’t come with any way to screw any of the mounts directly into a helmet, for most people the adhesive mount would work fine but what I use it for, canyoneering, it would get knocked off quite fast. A couple of 5 cent screws from a hardware store made it much more suitable for my needs. The waterproof housing is very well made, I’ve had it completely submerged and banged on rocks and it has held up quite well. The extra battery was a very nice inclusion and makes the camera last quite a while.AKASO customer service has been very good. When I received the package a while back it came with a note thanking me for the purchase, which I guess is standard nowadays but then they followed up and sent me a letter asking me how I liked the product (and to leave a review).Overall, this is an excellent budget camera for most people. It’s not a go pro, and it’s not going to have the quality of one but that’s not what this camera is designed for. For what it is, a budget action camera, it is great. I dinged a star because of the frame rate issue when recording higher resolution video, otherwise I would have given it a 5/5.

Please do not waste your money on this item, it worked only for a week or two and its just dead. Screen is black and it wouldn’t start even after trying a new battery. Please don’t fall for this bad camera

Ich habe mir die Kamera für meinen Ägyptenurlaub gekauft. Da ich nicht wusste, ob ich sie danach weiter verwenden würde, wollte ich erstmal nicht so viel investieren.Die Kamera ist eine günstige und gute Alternative zu GoPro und co. Sie kann Videos mit 30 fps bei 4K oder 2,7K. Ich hatte mir anfangs Gedanken gemacht, wegen der geringen fps. Die Videos sehen aber sehr flüssig aus. Mit der maximalen Speicherkapazität von 64GB können ca 3:20 h Videos in 4K aufgenommen werden. Alternativ gehen Videos in 1080p mit 60 fps. Fotos gehen mit 20 MP. Es gibt einen Bildstabilisierer (ob oder wie gut diese funktioniert, kann ich nicht sagen), sowie eine Zeitraffer Funktion für Bilder und Videos.Der Akku hält laut Hersteller 90 Minuten. Das kann realistisch sein, wenn man das WLAN der Kamera nicht nutzt. Ansonsten ist der Akku mit WLAN Nutzung schnell platt. Es ist allerdings ein zweiter Akku dabei. Enthalten sind diverse Halterungen für Helme etc. sowie ein wasserdichtes Case. Dieses habe ich zum Schnorcheln verwendet. Einen Stern Abzug gibt es, weil keine Halterung für Unterwasser dabei ist und man das Display der Kamera durch das case schlecht sieht. Die Kamera hat leider auch keinen Zoom. Die Bilder und Videos können mit einer App über WLAN bequem auf das Handy übertragen werden.Wer eine Action Kamera für kleines Geld mit guten Funktionen sucht, ist hier richtig.
